Tim, that is excellent! Thank you.
I have couple of minor questions:
Am I right with interpretation that the primary "source" is the spec
rather than RI behavior? If the spec is consistent and logical, but
contradicts to the RI behavior we are basing on spec? I'm asking just
because that caused lots of debates last time and I want to make sure
everyone agreed with this statement now.
That's what I thought we agreed. If the guide does not make that clear
then I am happy to clarify.
Guidelines clearly mentioned that. I could not recall if everyone was
agree or not :-).
As I remember there were lots of people who proposed to base on RI
behavior only (to be as much comatible as possible).
Personally I'm completely agree with guidelines approach.
The problem is that in the real world, we're going to have trouble
defending why everyone else is wrong, and we are correct.
This is why I'd like to discuss and be able to go w/ RI behavior, and in
either case, WRITE EVERYTHING DOWN so that for diversions from the RI we
can make it easy for users to see why their code breaks on Harmony when
it runs everywhere else and for diversions from spec, we can eventually
come back after some time when we have achieved World Dominance(tm) and
fix them...
